Our team at SentiLink has been tracking a Telegram channel with 140K members selling flights, hotels, and rental cars at half price. We tested it and paid $52 in crypto for a flight that normally costs $116. A few hours later, we had a real boarding pass in our inbox.
The seller takes payment by Zelle, Cash App or Bitcoin. The airline tickets are being purchased with stolen/compromised credit cards.
